I’m playing “catch-up”!!!

Hey Fam, Due to my busy schedule, I haven’t had time to post as often as I’d like. So let me fill you all in on where I was after VA. 

So I took an early morning flight from VA to D.C. Arrived at the airport & the point person who was supposed to pick me, didn’t!!! Now at this point MOST artists would have flipped their lid, but I’ve learned to think solution & always remain calm, becuz your response shapes the outcome of your situation. I called Thornell, we sloved the problem in less than 15 mins & I was on my way. Took about 45 mins to get to the hotel, which was right next door to the venue where I was to perform (Art Whino) in National Harbor. Beautiful place right in Baltimore.

I had a “day room” at the Westin. I grabbed a bite to eat & then I had an in-person interview / photo shoot. The “Art meets Music” event started @ 7:30pm. Such a cool vibe. An art gallery, about 100 people, a keyboard & microphone. I performed 5 songs. Great experience.

I made a mad dash over to Union Station & took the Amtrak to NY. Arrived into Penn Station @ 2 a.m. & walked 14 blocks in the rain to my friend Kristins place. She had a piece of chocolate cake for me, (it was a “band aid” piece, becuz she made a beautiful attempt to send me a whole chocolate cake from Juniors to me, but she gave them the wrong zip code. She’s so precious…

So we sat up & talked for a while then I attempted to take a nap, we probably got about an hour of sleep, then up, jumped on the 1 Train heading downtown to do a radio interview with Jeff Foxx & crew, mad cool brotha… the whole team. They showed me sooo much love. My publicist Joe met us at the radio station.

After the interview, we were back out in the rain taking a taxi uptown for a couple of more in-person interviews. Then a walk thru/ meet & greet @ Music Choice. Nice peeps. Jen (a friend of Joe’s) filled in for him on the last 2 interviews… Shes a cool, quiet Korean woman. : )

So it was then about 2pm. Kris & walked into Penn Station, I picked up a Subway sandwich, she & I talked a bit, I got on the train heading back to D.C for the Hidden Beach Black Caucus Party. Now that was an interesting scene. Met some really cool people. The political arena holds a different caliber people. It was cool to see everyone simply having a good time. We partied & then watched the debate between McCain & Obama, once it was over… more mingling & networking then a bunch of us headed over to another party where they were playing a lot of old school jams.

Made my way back to the hotel & went to sleep. I woke up late the next day, jumped in a cab & dashed over to the airport. Heading back to Atlanta…
